Following also works well in games like Block Party where you need to dodge walls coming off screen that can knock you off a platform. You can either stay in the front of the pack to see where the walls are coming first and react quickly, or you can stick to the middle or back of the pack and just follow where everyone else is moving. (In a game like Hex-A-Gone, where the floor disappears under the feet of other players, you want to do the exact opposite of following and run wherever players aren’t going.)

In team games, your success depends on cooperation. So for games like Hoarders or Fall Ball, work with your team to score points and deny the other teams the opportunity to score.
